“Maui Brewing is a great lunch spot if you're in Kailua town. They also offer dinner but I prefer the lunch menu. The seared ahi salad is absolutely delicious. Pair it with a bikini blonde lager and your lunch is set. Service is the new and upcoming style where you order via QR code on the table and pay via cellphone after you order. It's kind of nice instead of having to wait on your party or your serve to be available. You will have your food and drinks served to you after ordering. They also have a cute little gear shop if you want to purchase anything. Seating is available outside, inside or at bar area.“
“Self serve counter for beer and an extensive Poke' selection. Location is outdoors but it is Hawaii with good weather. Music was low and so were the conversations. Ordered three different Poke', all arrived quickly and all were very tasty. Crew was attentive to backed up people waiting to order while people were tasting, every time that occurred, another employee would quickly assist at the counter to keep things moving.“
“Pros: efficient reuse of an older storefront, with plenty of seating on two levels; a private parking lot with relatively more spots than most breweries in this part of town; their heavily fruited smoothie sours are a rich, rare treat on the islands. Cons: pretty dull on a Friday evening, with no music and limited activity; weird that they insisted on table service while the bar was light; limited beer options overall.“
“Amazing Omikase experience! A friend and I did the sake pairing as well. Heavy pours and amazing quality sake. We both requested to not have any fruit sake samples so the host had other options to try, some which were made by friends back in Japan! I would recommend to any sake lover who also wants to have a great meal!“
“Don't understand why this restaurant doesn't have big trays to bring everything out at once. Ordered three dishes, all came separate. We didn't get plates, napkins or utensils until everything was on the table. Food was good, server was nice, just not practical.“
“Mamma Mia.... Request for TIA!!!!! Probably one of the best servers will come across... the host working yesterday was super chill too. Her food knowledge was A1 and she specials spiel was very natural! I love when a server can give me a spiel on a dish and it not feel redundant or "scripted." On that note though, I would have totally got the burger of the week if I could tolerate spice... All i heard was jalapenos... I really wanted to try the seafood linguini arrabbiata pasta. However, it does comes with a spicy marinara sauce(for those that don't know what arrabbiata is). Thankfully Tia had suggested to do it with "white sauce" (roasted garlic cream). And that my friend, is why... I say she made an amazing recommendation because I will be back for that pasta! Small things I would like to mention... i wish they had noted which items were a bit spicy... maybe with a . The Bruschetta was a bit spicy for me, but the topping mix was amazing... i believe it was the peppers on top of the crostinis... On another hand, the FUJI APPLE flatbread is the way to GO! If you are looking for something sweet and savory... it WEEERRRKS! The fig jam brings a nice little sweet wander in your mind with the tart of apple and saltiness of the prosciutto... and the bite of the apple with a nice salty finish! Every bite is different honestly!!! I love the balsamic glaze too!!! (Honestly, anything with a balsamic glaze is chef's kiss). Oh yeah and it had a nite bite because of the arugula! As mentioned, my pasta was cooked to perfection. It is not easy to get all the components to be as perfect as it was. The seafood, individually and together, was perfectly cooked and not over done. It was very abundant with the fish, shrimp, and the mussels. Like I said, I want thing again when I come back. I also tried some of my friend's pua'a taco that was tasty and filling! Lastly, i love the location, by the marina! I love the open air experience! The vibe is very laid back and just a nice spot to be. We were in the corner and could see everything. And this is how I imagined celebrating my friend's birthday! I would also like to mention... they do free beer (least that's what i was told... don't hate me if they don't do it anymore) for your birthday... of course you have to be "of age"! Anywhos, thank you sooo much Kona Brewing and Tia for making this one of my best lunch experiences!“
“They have a new brewer (2023), so older opinions are unclear. I really enjoyed the beer - the new guy is going to do great. For now, no cans to go, limited merchandise, and the brewery taproom is basically a garage door in a parking lot (with plenty of parking, though). Promising, but probably most suitable to enthusiasts.“
“Thanks to the General Manager who helped me find a parking spot. :)Had a really good time there with my family. Fantastic selection of home made drafts. Personal favorite was 'Snap To It' . Food was excellent and came out seconds after it was ready. Prime Rib sandwich was top notch and the fries were amazing. This will be one of our regular spots every time we come back.“
“Hana Koa was great as always. Really glad I made a reservation for this date because it was especially crowded (I forgot it was Song Contest night and they are right down the street from Blaisdell). Traffic was really bad but luckily they saved my reservation even though I was a little later than the 15 minute grace period. I was seated immediately and greeted with a smile by the hostesses and my server Calvin (who is always the best!). The beers were awesome and I will definitely be back.“
“Bright and airy, nice layout. Good taste variety of house brews. Two guys serving food and drinks were exceptionally friendly, fast, and helpful with suggestions. Our group of 12 included three minors. All treated well and enjoyed the bb game. While the food menu is limited, what we had tasted great. We’ll be back. Mahalo“
